I'm working on something right now that I think could spread some major smileage and it doesn't have to be finished to do it.

I know you already know what youtube is, but having an experienced magi-guide is invaluable when it comes to finding the good stuff.
Click on Dai Vernon and watch the cups and balls.
So far I've only linked to a few of my favorites but just you wait and see... I'll pull something out of my asshat to keep you entertained.
All the best!

Press Release - The FISM™ European Championships of Magic™ 2008 to be relocated
London, 10 March 2008 - This November and for the first time ever, the FISM™ European Championships of Magic™ were to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 6 to 9 November 2008. Unfortunately we deeply regrets to announce the decision of the board of FISM™ Europe to relocate the European Championships of Magic™ 2008, due to be held in Bulgaria, and postpone the event to a later date.
Following unexpected and exceptional difficulties arisen in the organisation, FISM Europe had finally to take the tough decision after discussions with the FISM Presidium and the Bulgarian Magic Union, Organiser of the event.
FISM Europe has been established to better serve its European member societies, defend magicians' interests and develop the newly created FISM European Championships of Magic™. FISM Europe is fully dedicated to ensuring high quality events and must make sure that key criteria such as security, budget, logistic and competition are compliant with FISM standards.
Unfortunately due to exceptional costs and difficulties that could not be fully anticipated either by the local Organiser in its original bid book nor FISM Europe, all conditions were no longer good enough to guarantee an event that would meet FISM’s standards and quality. Keeping at core the interest of all parties involved, competitors, attendees, partners, magic dealers and other suppliers, FISM Europe has decided to postpone and relocate the first FISM European Championships of Magic™.
FISM Europe is currently working hard with its partners and club members and further details will be released in a press announcement as soon as possible.
André Ciocca, Interim President of FISM™ Europe, said “It is very disappointing and we are very saddened for all the magic community as well as the partners who trusted us in this event. But we are confident it was the right decision at the right time. The situation could have gone beyond control otherwise and we had to face the reality of it“.
Eric Eswin, International President of FISM™, stated: ”Andre Ciocca and the board of FISM Europe have done a tremendous work to put together the basis of FISM Europe and the FISM European Championships of Magic™. We support FISM Europe in its decision and we will work with the FISM Europe board to help organise the event as soon as possible and in the best possible conditions".
The FISM™ European Championships of Magic™ were developed to further FISM™ Europe's goals. FISM™ Europe was established to provide services to European magicians that would be difficult for FISM™ International to offer. Through this continental competition FISM™ hopes to increase the talent of magic and the level of the FISM™ World Championships of Magic™. With the FISM™ European Championships of Magic™, this is another opportunity for all European magicians to make a name for themselves!
